Dear Ian,
Since this update some build fail on ubuntu. In fact there is
translation of some XML files (for example mime types
resources/linux/mime/kicad-gerbers.xml.in) but gettext is unable to find
rules to translate that kind of file without the appropriate ITS file.
On Ubuntu 18.04, shared-mime-info is too old and don't ship
shared-mime-info.loc and shared-mime-info.its. So building is failing.
So what is your proposal for that ? Perhaps there is already an answer
about this point ? I think I can fix that by coping missing ITS files on
the appropriate directory but it's a dirty solution...

The changes to the i18n build system have now been merged into the
master branch - with the change that KICAD_BUILD_I18N will default to
OFF now, so it must be enabled when you want to build the translations
libraries.
At this point, all nightly builds of the master branch that include
translations need to be updated to use the KICAD_BUILD_I18N=ON flag and
no longer reference the i18n repository.

Since we now host the v6 translations inside the main code
repository, I have consolidated the CMake scripts for building the
translation files into the main build process inside this MR
(https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/628). That
exposes a new CMake option `KICAD_BUILD_I18N`, which defaults to on,
that controls if the translations are built. When that option is ON,
gettext is a required dependency and when it is off it is not
needed. This change will require some people to modify their current
build setup to disable the translations if they do not wish to build
with gettext.
In that MR I have also added the linux metadata files to the
translation framework to allow for the strings contained inside them
to be internationalized (so that the user sees translated strings on
desktop icons/tooltips in their display manager). That should be a
transparent change to the packagers of nightly builds, but a welcome
change for users.
